When setting the SPECTRA up for use, be sure to place the unit on a hard surface and avoid blocking or restricting
airflow at the air inlets or exhaust ports on the enclosure. Restricting the airflow will cause the unit to operate at elevated
temperatures and will result in decreased product life and/or premature failure.
Position the unit in such an orientation that allows unrestricted access to the DC power connector. In an emergency, you
may need to disconnect power to the unit quickly.
The SPECTRA can either be controlled by a Lumencor supplied GUI via a RS-232 port, by the Lumencor Remote
Control Accessory (RCA) via the RS-232 port or by a 3
rd
party laboratory software program via the TTL port. The GUI
provides a quick and easy way to control your new light engine. You will have the ability to turn each source within the
unit on/off, adjust the power of each source independently from off to full power, switch between the GREEN and
YELLOW excitation filters and also cycle through all sources automatically at a frequency chosen by the user. Refer to
the photo below of the rear panel for the location of the various connectors.
